Asio otus. 

Here’s one we haven’t looked at together yet. A mid-size owl found across Eurasia, North Africa, and North America. They nest and hunt in lightly forested regions (preferring coniferous forests), agricultural areas, and in winter can occasionally be found in urban areas. 

Their diet consists primarily of small rodents, but will also occasionally take birds, bats, and insects. 

This was a fun painting to put together. Thanks so much for looking at birds with me.
